20 Years of Stardock Games

20 Years of Stardock Games

I recently celebrated my 7th year anniversary working for Stardock and began thinking about what games and announcements have been released in that time!

This year, Stardock celebrated its 20th year and part of that celebration was the announcement of Galactic Civilizations III! In our community, we have lots of long-time users and we also have a steady flow of new users, especially since we released our first mobile game.
